Madonna to return as Elisa Das from Leo?

In the promo, one of the characters—seemingly innocent and unrefined—mispronounces the name as 'Bens,' before quickly correcting it to 'Benz.
' That small slip leads into the dramatic reveal of Walter, a menacing figure drenched in gold and oozing menace.
One netizen commented, 'Wow... Different Look... Different character... Different acting.. Nivin Pauly..' Another comment read, 'First said no, second said yes, third got me hooked....just
Nivinism.' A third one wrote, 'Nivin Pauly Raghava Lawrence combo.. சம்பவம் இருக்கு.. waiting movie release.'
Meanwhile, there is also another section of the audience that shares mixed views.
Cast, crew, and what's next
While Madonna Sebastian is said to be in advanced talks, Priyanka Arul Mohan and Samyuktha are also being considered for pivotal roles. Actor Madhavan's name has also surfaced in discussions, adding further weight to the star-studded potential of 'Benz'.
